Zlatan, How far my brother? I just dey follow this thread silently since. You are really doing well. Few questions

1) I just got admitted to study in The University of Gothenburg, Sweden. How little do you know about the place?
2) The school fees high no be here o! But there is hope for scholarship.
3) Is Sweden a good place to leave a well paying job and relocate to?
4) If the scholarship no show, do You think I should still pursue the process?


Thanks.

1) I’ve only passed G’thenburg on my way to another city called Tibro in Sweden last summer and besides that I’ve got nothing useful to say here...consult google on this..

2) Scholarship is always the headway, so comb the school for every opportunity!!

3) Sweden is not bad at all; i will advise you to make friends with Nigerians currently living there because from my experience here, our people help each other for recommendations for jobs especially menial ones that will help you wella in the beginning..!

4) Pursue am!!! After 5yrs you will understand that you made a good choice, with hardwork, patience and smart decisions...everything suddenly becomes possible


Take care amigo

Sweden is a good country, but you just gatz to deal with tax, but the tax is put into good use to grow the economy and the quality of life of the people. You will also gatz to adapt to racism oo... And also learn to adapt to the weather.

From what i heard, accomodation is hectic in Sweden. Be aware of that.

First observation: Is that darkness am seeing? But it is only 5:23pm shocked
Second observation: The streets/roads are deserted
Third observation: The country is way too cold..

I can’t count sef...but the most recent was some old people refusing to be in same elevator with me...they spoke in Finnish not knowing I understand the language

I have read a lot about the Finns on quora, blogs and social media platforms. I deduced that those people are really scared of blacks. It is some kind of an unexplainable phobia. Perhaps they are thinking they would be hurt, robbed or scammed. Racism is one thing and fear is another thing but the result of both is discrimination. They behave the same way to Non Finnish people (white inclusive), no race is spared.

Learning the language is key to be able to cope in a country of introverts.

Yes you have said it all, learning the language will always help you to become friends with them sometimes...Another form of racism is institutional ones whereby you will apply for jobs and never get called up because your name doesn’t appear Finnish...Anyways, Finns are introverts by default and can be really boring, but you can be amazed at their extrovert behaviors after enough alcohol in the bar and suddenly they want to be friends with you... grin

Usually here in Finland and during winters, it can be too cold and so if you have no business being outside you should stay put in your house...unless you need to go to work or then to buy food...we Nigerians are huge survivalists finally, because who nor go nor go know las las

Yes my man...with highness from alcohol they suddenly become big time extroverts, but when they’re sober, they’re big time introverts, always avoiding people and each other...they can be strange.. sad
